Environment and Culture of the workplace

Typically, normal office hours, Monday to Friday in a professional environment. The job can at times involve some evening or weekend work, particularly when unforseen problems arise. Regular visits to building sites are undertaken to meet with developers, design consultants, builders, subcontractors, etc to monitor progress. Working on multiple projects concurrently is the order of the day, so expect some pressure to meet deadlines.
